Question (two really) about Keychain

I'm not having a problem now, but I'm wondering if someone can help me understand something with Keychain.
The other day, while trying to learn more about Keychain, I changed my password for keychain "login". After using the computer for a few minutes I changed the password back to my original password.
The next day after the computer awoke from sleep a box popped up with "Mac OS wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password."
When I tried to type my password in the "Password:" field it would not take anything I was typing. It was as if my keyboard was not working, though I know it was since I could type in other places. I could not get rid of the box and it was always in front of everything else on the display. I think I had only Safari and Mail running and I was probably using Safari to google this problem and Mail was running in the background.
I think (I'm having a little difficulty remembering my exact steps) I ended up logging out and back in to get rid of this box, however, every time the computer came out of its sleep this box popped back up (I'm sure about this, though).
I finally used Time Machine to restore an older login.keychain and metadata.keychain to my ~/Library/Keychains folder to fix this issue. I no longer get the pop up box.
I would like to know why I was getting this pop up box. What did I do wrong. I thought I had reverted back to my original password, which is my login password. Could I have mistyped that password and that was the problem?
And, why was it not accepting text in the "password:" field when I typed my password?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply, Eric
I didn't think about deleting the plist. You think that might have been causing the pop up or not allowing the text input into the Password: field? WIsh I had done that to see. I still have not had a reocurrance of the pop up since restoring those two files, but just in case I deleted the plist files anyway, as you mentioned.
I also ran the First Aid and, oddly enough, it did not find any problems.
I did read about resetting Keychain but was warned that I would lose all my existing keychain passwords, and I have a bunch, mostly Airport network passwords of friends I help with their Macs, so I decided to use the reset as a very last resort, which I never had to use.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series

Hello.
I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series.
1. I see there aren't any print server/bridge/access point for these two new series. Do I have to use previous ones? Or the new ones are in planned in near future?
2. Do I "HAVE TO USE CONNECT SOFTWARE"? Can I just use web interface to do every setting that these routers features?
3. Does expert series routers support guest network and parental control?
4. When I look into informations of these router, some router doesn't give information about backward compatible to older standards. Do I have to consider that as they are backward compatible with older standards?
Ok, that's all for now.
If I need to ask more questions I will do that in this thread as reply

With the New Expert or the Valet Series Router, you still can use the Print Server / Bridge and Access Points.
Well with the Expert and Valet Series router, you have an option to User Cisco Connect Software or you can User Web Interface of the Router. But with the Cisco Connect Software you have an Advantage of creating a Guest Account and using Parental Control , which is not available using the Web Interface.
These both the routers are backward compatible and they can connect to your G Series Product.

Two fields about material in AFKO: PLNBEZ and STLBEZ,what's the difference?

Two fields about material in AFKO: PLNBEZ and STLBEZ,what's the difference?
correct answers will be rewarded.
thanks in advance

Hi,
First of all AFKO is table for Production Order Master Data. So it covers all data related BOM , Routing etc. So In order to distinguish material field related to BOM & Routing these two different fields are there in AFKO table.
PLNBEZ is the field for material assigned to routing operation
STLBEZ is the field for material which is part of BOM
Hope this clears your doubt.

Hi,
Which two statements about custom catalogs are true? (Choose two.)
A. A category cannot contain catalogs. -> FALSE
B. Catalogs can contain one or more subcatalogs. -> TRUE
C. A product can only belong to one category.-> FALSE
D. Each category exists in one and only one catalog.->FALSE
To my knowledge, it seems only one of these is true.

I have a new IMAC 5k running Yosemite and when I log in I am asked a whole series of questions as to what keychain can access. How can I authorise all of these to be available upon login? Items concerned are such as "Talagent", "Messages agent" etc

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

I recently forgot the password for my iTunes UK account with 100 pounds of credit. I called apple and said no one could help me if I did not know the security questions. Really? This company that pretty much can do anything is not able to tell me what the password is?

For a forgotten password: go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
For forgotten security questions log in at http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Password and Security' in the sidebar.

Two really embarrassing questions from iPod newbie!

Although I've been using Macs since the steam-powered Mac SE, I've never actually owned an iPod (until now), because I never listen to music 'on the go'.
However, I've just ordered an 80Gb Classic from the Apple Store, principally as a handy way to have all the songs I've written or played on in one handy, small location.
However, because I've never owned one before, I have a couple of questions that probably seem +really stoopid+ (red face)...
1. I guess I will copy all the songs from CD to iTunes on my iMac and then upload them to the iPod. But will I have to keep all those songs in iTunes? If I subseqiently delete them from iTunes, will they be automatically deleted on the iPod the next time I try and copy any songs from iTunes to it?
2. When I copy the music files to iTunefrom CD, can I copy the music files to an external Firewire HD, not my main hard drive? There are a lot of songs to copy and I don't want to fill a significant chunk of my main hard drive if I don't have to. Would iTunes 'see' them on an external HD? Or can I copy them straight from the CDs to the iPod via iTunes, without physically copying them to an HD at all?
Sorry for the basic questions, I hope someone can help.

Robin,
You might want to consider a few things before you wipe your iTunes library clean (assuming you have already trasnfered them onto your iPod).
If, for some reason, you need to restore your iPod and put music back on, iTunes will have to transfer that music back to your iPod. If you have wiped your iTunes library clean that could mean spending a lot of time REformatting your music collection to put back on your iPod.
Also, I have had a few instances where, although I have iTunes set to 'manually' manage my transfers, iTunes has deleted all of my music. Thank God I had my library on my hard drive as it only meant a 20 minute sync to transfer 6,000 songs back on.
If hard drive space on your desktop or laptop is limited, iTunes offers a way to 'backup' the library on DVD+R or similar media. So, for about $10 in blank DVD costs, you can just make a portable backup to put in a drawer.
Just PLEASE think about these issues before you put music on your iPod and delete it from your hard drive. From experience, things happen and you don't want to go through the 'ripping' hassle again! (ripping, the term for making mp3/wma/aac files from a CD)
Last, if this is your first attempt at putting your music collection on your computer, you might want to keep them there. You might be surprised at how handy it is to have all of your music in one place close by, especially if you invest in a pretty moderately priced speaker setup for your computer.
Best of luck!

Two really quick/dumb questions!

Hi All,
I have just bought a new Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Samsung 55 inch TV via HDMI and everything seems do be working great.
My two dumb questions are:
1: where on the new OS (I had a Mac 5 years ago and things have changed) is the top "Finder" bar and "disc" icon to save files?
2: In Safari I do not seem to have a tools bar where I can for example open another tab for a new web page.
Hope you can help a nubby :-)

You are running a Mini so it might be that the screen resolution is not exact for your display. I have used a Mini with a conventional display but not HDTV. You might need to go into the settings for the TV to set the screen resolution to accommodate the mini's capabilities. Sorry that I can't offer more on that score; when I use my Sony Bravia HDTV it is with the iPad2 and HDMI and I have encountered no issues. Perhaps someone else on the forum has better insight into the Menu Bar problem on the Samsung as the principal display.

Question about keychain

is it secure to save my passwords to my keychain? would keychain mess up with my security and computer?

Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. I believe you just need to find the site in question, delete it, then revisit it and you will again be asked if you want Keychain to save the password.
Post back.

3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
Thank you
Alex

General question about Keychain

I just installed Leopard. In Tiger, I had various problems with Keychains, most notably trying to reach an Exchange Server via the Outlook Web Client. Every time I would click anything (new email, reply, go to calendar, contact, anything) I would have to reenter my password. Thus far in Leopard, I have not touched my keychain, and have had no problem with my Exchange experience.
I read a while back that there were known issues with Safari and Exchange. Was this due to keychain? If I don't use keychain, will my passwords not be stored, and therefore, I will lose that functionality in all other web experiences? Please advise.

All I can suggest is searching or posting to the appropriate microsloth forum at http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/->other products. I don't know exchange server or outlook.
